D etermine the combined weight
of luggage and cargo being loaded
on the vehicle. That weight may
n ot safely exceed the available
c argo and luggage load capacity
c alculated in st ep 4 .
If your vehicle will be towing a
t railer, load from your trailer will
be transferred to your vehicle.
Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity of
your vehicle (see page
).
The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity.
For example, if the maximum load
is 850 lbs and there will be five
150
lb passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 100 lbs.
(850
750 ( 5 150) = 100 lbs.)
Subtract the combined weight of
the driver and passengers from
850 pounds or 395 kilograms.
Determine the combined weight
of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicle.
Locate the statement, ‘‘the
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed 850
lbs’’ on your vehicle’s placard.
[The placard is on the driver’s
doorjamb.]
